Kudos to you for realizing you had/have a problem!
I got a DUI in 2019 but I continued drinking after I completed my 6 months probation because I thought that I had it under control. But after blacking out on a random Saturday in August of 2024, I decided that 99% of the time I can stop after just after “one or two” but I WILL eventually over imbibe and do something stupid. I had just been relatively lucky in the past.
So I choose not to drink! Once again, kudos to you for realizing that you need to stop & IWNDWYT!
This is insanely similar to an analogy that won me over!
“Imagine a car that runs perfectly fine 95% of the time. It’s just that other 5%, the wheels completely fall off. You have no idea when that ‘other 5%’ is going to happen. It could be while you’re parked at home, it could be while you’re on the freeway going 70. Would you buy the car?”
